Excerpt from New Testament Theology, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Historical Account of the Teaching of Jesus and of Primitive Christianity According to the New Testament SourcesSurrender to Christ may be abrupt and revolutionary, for thus only can he carry into his new life the necessity of finding some reasonable understanding between the new and the old. We need not say that we refer to Paul. On one occasion he wrote in humble pride, because of the grace of God which was with him, I have laboured more than they all. The reference is to the wide extent of the field of his labours in the Gentile world in comparison with the moderate success of the older apostles among the Jews, but he might as truly have referred to his work in thought. He only in the full sense mastered the meaning of the experience of salvation through Christ which was common to them all, he considered all that was implied in it, and he almost completely trans formed what was fact into ideas and doctrines, he started the Christian development of doctrine. And so in his system of doctrine we stand in presence of the greatest monument of primitive Christian teaching, when the incomparable glory of Jesus' own revelation is excepted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
